Single-Family Housing Green Buildings Market Report 2026

The single-family housing green buildings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $177.71 billion in 2025 to $204.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising adoption of green residential designs, increasing demand for energy-efficient retrofits, growth in eco-friendly building material use, early expansion of smart home installations, rising government support for sustainable housing.

The single-family housing green buildings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $354.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing shift toward net-zero home construction, increasing deployment of renewable energy residential systems, rising use of automated home energy management, expansion of full-green residential projects, growing preference for low-carbon residential materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for eco-friendly home constructions, rising adoption of high-performance insulation systems, growing preference for energy-efficient building designs, expansion of green home renovation activities, increasing market shift toward low-carbon housing solutions.

The rising costs and consumption of energy are expected to be key drivers of growth in the single-family housing green buildings market in the years ahead. Energy costs refer to the expenses associated with heating homes or other residential properties, while energy consumption reflects the amount of energy used to perform various activities and maintain living spaces. Energy efficiency and cost reduction are top priorities for green single-family housing. By incorporating energy-efficient features and practices, builders and homeowners can reduce their environmental impact and achieve long-term cost savings. For example, in April 2024, the Energy Information Administration, a key U.S. government source for energy data and analysis, noted that the average residential electricity price in the United States increased from 15.04 cents per kWh in 2022 to 15.98 cents per kWh in 2023, reflecting a 6.2% rise. Therefore, the escalating energy costs and consumption are fueling growth in the single-family housing green building market.

Key companies operating in the single-family housing green buildings market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as net-zero energy and net-zero waste residential projects, to meet the rising demand for low-carbon, self-sustaining, and environmentally responsible homes. Net-zero homes are designed to generate as much energy as they consume through on-site renewable systems while significantly reducing waste and environmental impact - offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional homes that rely heavily on grid energy and produce substantial carbon emissions. For instance, in April 2024, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd., an India-based real estate and infrastructure development company, launched Mahindra Zen, the country’s first Net Zero Waste + Net Zero Energy residential community. The project integrates on-site renewable energy generation, advanced waste-management systems, and resource-efficient design principles to minimize environmental footprint. Demonstrating strong market demand for sustainable single-family living, the project sold over 150 homes (around 65% of total units) within just two days, generating over ₹350 crore (USD 0.041 billion). This milestone highlights the accelerating shift toward green, self-sustaining residential developments.

In June 2023, Honeywell, a US-based multinational conglomerate, acquired Carrier Global Corporation for $4.95 billion. This acquisition aligns with Honeywell's strategy to enhance its building automation business by integrating essential products for modern management. Honeywell plans to utilize the strengths of the newly acquired business to foster innovation in cloud-based services and solutions. Carrier Global Corporation is a US-based provider of sustainable building solutions.
